I will add useful information often.

Weather Fine In WB

Hello Everyone:

The weather looks wet in Wilkes-Barre for tomorrow morning, but there is a chance of sleet and freezing rain early- turning to all rain. Then later----------- a possibility of snow. Check this blog for any changes in the AM. I know we have interns traveling from the Reading area, Chambersburg, the north and other areas...... Traveling for most should be fine, but take your time. If it takes a little longer to get the Wilkes, we will wait to get started. Please use your judgement as your safety comes first. Please be prepared to share a brief synopsis of your research project, as well as a log experience.

Hello Interns:
Here is the agenda for class this Sunday. We will also have a guest speaker. Mr. Robert Grantier (President of Blended Schools) will talk about the program, as well as take questions regarding Blended Schools, or anything relating to being a principal.
